New Posting Features - Default Editor Messages

About DEM:
Default Editor Messages (what a name) allows forum specific messages to populate the editor when users create newthreads. This, originally custom modification, has been converted into a proper vB product for vB.org users. DEM uses instances and messages in combination to allow for very specific message display and order.

Uses:
Have you or your moderators ever had to clean up messes in your community because your users simply ignore or forget the rules? Or maybe you have a specific forum where you want all new posts to follow a template and you find that no matter how much you ask it still isn't followed correctly?

Then this mod is for you! When a user makes a new thread they're most likely not going to go around reading all the rules before they do so (we can still hope, can't we?) but if a chunk of text appears right where they're typing they're bound to stop their fingers and open their eyes!

Features:

• Fully phrased allowing for translations and multiple languages.
• Instances! Allows for simple configuration amongst multiple forums with the same message(s).
• Robust! If you delete a message any instances that used it will default to no bound message. Prevents errors without hindering usage.
• An "override" setting allows for your message to populate the editor even if other text already exists in there.
• Auto-delete / replace message(s) on post creation or, with javascript, in the editor itself with your own custom content.
• Extensive message customization. Specify additional customizable content before and / or after message(s).

Installation requires FTP access for the ACP options and navigation. Upload all files first then import the product.

Installed, work for Safari browser but not google Chrome.

What is wrong?

[Mr_Running]

Okay, I turned this mod off for a long time waiting for 2.0 but I used it for the last month but discovered that once a title is entered and the Tab is clicked on the keyboard to start the message the cursor will not go into the editor.

Myself...I use the mouse but some users tend to use the tab button.

So Yeah, it works with the mouse but not the Tab.

I didn't know people were still interested in this mod.

hsoen: I can't really help you until you describe what exactly doesn't work.

Mr. Running: I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but as you know I have taken a leave from coding. I'll still be happy to assist you on this modification, however, and will start by commencing work on v2 (hopefully I still have files around somewhere!).

I will look into the tab version and see if I can replicate this issue.
